This holiday idea and recipe book from television cooking host Nigella Lawson is designed to help make your Christmas holiday easy and enjoyable, with advice and instruction on everything from party canapés and cocktails to Christmas cakes and puddings. Nigella offers suggestions for no-fuss brunches and crowd-pleasing menus, edible tree decorations and quick-and-easy homemade presents—including chutneys, preserves, and other delectable standbys. Here are recipes for a super-juicy traditional turkey with all the trimmings, festive Ginger-Glazed Ham, the Ultimate Christmas Pudding, and Stuffed Rolled Pork, as well as a vegetarian Christmas feast, Chocolate Pudding, a French Yule Log, an Australian Christmas Pudding, and the Boozy British Trifle.

"The recipes are a mix of dishes that are quick to prepare and cook—so you can have your dinner out of the grocery bag and on to the table in half an hour or so—and dishes that are easy to prepare early in the day and then are simply left to simmer slowly."—Good Housekeeping
